Viatek Ionic Air Freshening CFL Light Bulb - Be Green and Clean in the Kitchen
Want your kitchen to smell a little fresher, and help stop global warming? The Ionic Compact Fluorescent Light bulb uses just 15 watts while producing 60 watts of light, and the ionizer inside the bulb helps to keep air fresh. The Ionic Bulb purifies the air by generating negative ions that attach to and eliminate hundreds of air contaminants (positively charged ions). These ions attach themselves to pollutants and drops them to the floor where they an easily be vacuumed.
One of our readers Lana has written in with a very interesting kitchen contraption - okay so not totally kitchen gadget related, but it is indeed a blast. Much like Easy Cheese except more organic and less cheesy, the Batter Blaster™ makes organic light and fluffy pancakes and light and crisp waffles in minutes. How does it do it? How about a pressurized can with a ton of pancake or waffle batter in it. Batter Blaster is fast, easy and fun for the whole family, plus it looks like a lot less mess for those sleepy Sunday morning pancake festivals in our kitchen.
We've just received a sampling of home and kitchen organization products from IKEA. We often venture to IKEA, but often miss the home goods area as we speed through with our 2 kids who are about to meltdown. Next time we think we'll spend a trip to the home goods area instead of venturing into the upper area of furniture after seeing many of the home and kitchen organizing products IKEA offers.
One product we received which has made the transition from Winter to Spring a bit easier is the resealable heavy duty plastic bags. We'll be using them to store some clothes for next year, and another is the DISTANS food savers. You can stack these little wonders, and put in the food our kids didn't eat the night before for a lunch the next day. We also like the cutlery tray, our older tray was made of white metal and was not as easy to clean and wash out as this one.
The IKEA 365+ food savers are already in use as well. We have been storing O's and other cereals in them for a week, and we've had much less mess on the floor and counters from using them.
Thanks to IKEA for sending. We're feeling a bit more organized already.

This looks like a device from the future, and unfortunately, it is. This is just a concept; it doesn't work yet. But how cool would it be to be able to see exactly how brown your toast is getting?
We've Moved Hosts! New KitchenContraptions.com Speed and Power!
All Blogpire websites have moved hosting facilities. Seems we're all growing so well that we outstripped the bandwidth and CPU limitations of our previous internet provider. But that's good news, since it means we've got tons of dedicated readers like you who keep coming back to our site. So thanks! And even though we've moved, we're still the same bat-time, same bat-URL.
I keep warning against it, but they keep trying to make our gadgets smarter. Those crazy kids at MIT are working on an intelligent spoon that is equipped with sensors that measure temperature, acidity, salinity, and viscosity. The spoon can then tell you what the next step should be--for example, it tells the user if there is not enough salt in the brine prepared to make pickles.
We'll be signing off until 2006, but we will have occasional updates to tide you over until the New Year.
Thanks to all our dedicated readers for your support and your trust during an exciting 2005. And a special thanks to all of our advertisers over this past year - without them we wouldn't be able to bring Kitchen Contraptions each day.
Who knew Dickies made a Chef's hat? We're thinking of putting on a little hat in our baking of the holiday cookies marathon coming up and think you may find a print that isn't white from the various choices below. These one of a kind print Dickies Floppy Hats are made with 100% cotton and each hat features a 1" Velcro easy adjustment to keep you comfortable all day and night.
The following colors are available:
Black Texture
Chef's Crossing
Diagonal Stripes
Pasta Strings
Pepper Row
One size fits all and that means everyone can wear it for the holidays.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know the drill. We want to know what your favorite kitchen contraption was in 2005. Tell us your thoughts on the best kitchen gadgets of 2005 and whatever got your attention here at Kitchen Contraptions.
We prefer the term Kitchen Wreath over Angel Wreath (what is an angel wreath for - if it's for attracking angels - then okay if not - we'll stick to kitchen wreath). This cool wreath will look right at home in your kitchen. The kitchen wreath can be used for indoor or outdoor kitchens and is weather resistant. It's essentially a feather wreath with a metal frame. I'm thinking it really should be used indoors but who am I to tell you where to put your wreath.
We are always searching for the perfect kitchen vacuum. Currently our "vacuum wand" is not cutting the mustard nor dicing vegetables too well - if you get what we mean. This Miele isn't cheap at $499 but does look like it has all the settings and power we might need for a long term vacuum relationship.
Miele designed this vacuum to offer the power and quality of its larger vacuums in an exceptionally lightweight, compact design for maximum maneuverability. Choose among six power settings using a rotary dial on the canister, then use the deluxe handle, contoured to offer a comfortable grip, to guide the air-driven turbo brush head. The head gently lifts and removes dirt from low- and medium-pile rugs, while the straight-suction floor tool whisks up dirt on smooth floors. An advanced HEPA filter keeps ambient air clean. For quick access, tools store directly on the machine's telescoping wand. A long 29" cord offers maximum range.
